Character Wheel

Make a large circle on poster paper. Take one of the main characters' names in the center. In each quarter of the wheel, list one of the following:

  • Background (minister, farmer, etc.)
  • Physical Appearance (approximate age and physical description)
  • Temperament (nervous, angry, happy)
  • Ideas (what he/she thinks or believes).

When you are finished with each section, Find a quote from the play that backs your argument for each section of the wheel. If you have time left, decorate your wheel so we can display it.
